Our escape rooms

Every room is a 60-minute story with its own puzzles, props and twists. Pick one to start with, then come back for the rest.

How it works

Locked in. Clock ticking.

01

Pick a room and book

Choose your room and time slot online. Your team is never mixed with strangers, so the room is all yours.

02

Arrive and get briefed

Get here 10 minutes early. Your Games Master will explain the rules and set the scene before the door closes.

03

60 minutes to escape

Search, solve and work together. Stuck? Your Games Master is watching and can send a hint when you need it.

What players say

Escaped and loved it

“

The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Iris was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and knew just the right time to help us with the odd hint. Clever and challenging, and it really made you use your brain. We will be going back to try another room for sure.

I paid for myself, my mum and sister to come here for my mum's birthday and we weren't disappointed! All of us really enjoyed it and had so much fun solving the clues and riddles to escape. We will be coming back to try another room!
